Thank you for posting this. I wonder if all those who used the original/incorrect story as an occasion to attack the Catholic Church will have the good graces to retract their statements.
I agree that certain officials in Rome have waged common cause with Middle East terrorists, and that criticisms of this extreme bias are most justified.
Perhaps the next Pope pay more attention to administration and reigning in such out of control individuals.
Unfortunately, the current Pontiff has been much too quiet on this issue.

Rather than blaming, so called translation, they ought to simply apologyze for attacking Israel before getting the facts.
No apologies are required by those who reacted to the Vatican's original story.
IMHO

Look further down on this thread. They're still attacking the Vatican, and not even bothering to read/comprehend the correction.

Indeed, there are far too many. And I don't think there's a RC equivelant to the free speech provisions of the First Amendment to the US Constitution. Ergo, the Holy See is responsible for all content published, its veracity and accuracy, translation or no translation. However, I commend them for admitting the error, and publishing a clarification/correction.
